Title: Indo-Aryans: contributions towards the elucidation of their ancient and mediaeval history

Publication Year: 1881

Publisher: London : E. Stanford Calcutta, W. Newman

Caption text from source:

Directions are also given for the purification of leather articles. Other Smritis ordain that oleaginous (oily) articles preserved in leather bottles do not become impure

(...) in the present day jars of that material are in extensive use for the storage of oil and ghee.

In the latter place, leatherbags are universally used for raising water from wells, and according to the law books of Sankha and Likhita, water should be kept in old leather bottles.

The use of such words, as cJiannaiita, cJiannapatti, vdratm, chasa-handha, (unclear text.....) in old Sanskrit works indicates that straps, bands and strings of leather were in common use, and sails were also made of leather or hide.

(...) It is a courier bag of a check pattern with a flap, slung from the left shoulder.
